Exodus 15:11 says “Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?’

Terri DeShazo-Arnett is the author of the book titled ‘You May Have a Ph.D., But I Know GOD’. This book tells of God’s amazing love, as it chronicles the incredible deliverance of Terri’s 17-year-old son, Jeremy.
On June 24th 2002, Jeremy’s youth group was on a bus headed to a church camp at Louisiana State University.
Moments later when Terri turned on her radio, she was shocked to hear a Radio presenter announce that a bus from Metro Church going to Louisiana State University had just crashed.
The bus had careened off the interstate, crashed into two concrete pillars and was ripped apart. Jeremy had been thrown 15 feet from the bus into concrete pillars. His lifeless body was found burning in a toxic pool of battery acid and diesel fuel. Paramedics initially assessed him as virtually dead, but a church youth director prayed over Jeremy and convinced the paramedics to airlift him to Mother Francis hospital in Tyler, Texas. His heart stopped three times en route and when he arrived, doctors didn’t think he could stay alive for long.
However, his mother, who had immediately rushed to his side, was confident that he would live because for the past two years she had prayed over him with Psalm 91: 11‘He’ll give His angels charge over us.’
Though all the medical facts pointed to Jeremy dying, Terri refused to agree with the facts.
Despite the fearful situation, she would stand over his bed singing praises to God. She kept declaring God’s goodness and great love in keeping Jeremy alive. She said only prayers of faith with God’s Word, which she believed as the ultimate authority.
After two weeks, Jeremy was finally stable. Though doctors said that he would never be normal again, Terri chose rather to believe the report of the Lord; that Jeremy would be totally healed and restored. And so it was.
Defying all the odds against him, Jeremy left the Hospital five weeks after the accident that almost took his life. Six months later Jeremy was back in college, fully recovered and continuing to live a normal healthy life.

Exodus 15:11 says “Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?’

Indeed God does wonders through praises.
Whenever you are faced with a situation you don’t know how to handle, switch to praise. There is a mystery about praise that breaks every prison and bondage around you.
Praise is a verbal expression of our faith in God and our love for Him. This motivates Him to do signs and wonders for us.
When we magnify God in the face of trials, we are declaring that He is bigger than any mountain before us. .
Indeed everyone faces challenges in life, but how we respond determines whether we are beaten or blessed and whether we are victims or victors.
Faith is the victory that overcomes the world and faith works by love. Galatians 5:6 says faith works by love. That means love is the driving force behind our faith.
Indeed an understanding of God’s love is what keeps our faith strong in trials, because we trust that ultimately He will cause us to triumph. In all things we should trust that our God is able to deliver us to the uttermost as we express our love for Him through our praise.

God says in Psalm 91:14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.’

Indeed God can deliver you from any depth and set you on high. Therefore no matter what you may go through, always maintain your praise. If you are sad, it will be bad, if you are depressed, you will be oppressed, but when you praise, you will be raised.
Through praise, God lifts us up from the depths of despair and sets our feet upon a solid rock. Through Praise, God turns our mourning into dancing and replaces sadness with gladness.
Therefore as you engage the force of praise today, expect God to do amazing wonders in your life and turn every sorrow into joy for you in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to maintain a praise-full lifestyle, so that I can see Your signs and wonders in my life. I know that by Your grace, every opposition against me has been crushed and every mourning turned into joy in my life in Jesus Name.

QUOTE; Praise always guarantees you power for a raise, learning to praise God in season and out of season is key to fulfilling destiny. WORDBITE 222
